CURLOPT_EGDSOCKET3
Egd socket path
Usage
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_EGDSOCKET, char *path);
Overview
Deprecated option. It serves no purpose anymore.
Pass a char pointer to the null-terminated path name to the Entropy Gathering Daemon socket. It is used to seed the random engine for TLS.
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.
Default
NULL
Protocols
All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.
Examples
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_EGDSOCKET, "/var/egd.socket");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
Return value
Returns CURLE_OK if TLS is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
